Build the security operating procedures governing complex incident training scenarios.
Designing Training Scenarios for Complex Security Incidents
An applied course in complex incident training scenarios built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
Most security failures involving complex incident training scenarios exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. A control on training scenarios that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Participants test their assumptions about this area of corporate security practice against scenarios designed to break weak ones. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to complex incident training scenarios in an order their organisation can absorb. Progress on the corporate security practice capability is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The course covers training scenarios at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The content is relevant to those who own complex incident training scenarios and to those who are held accountable for its results. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better training scenarios is rarely technical. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this part of corporate security practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Set the minimum documentation for training scenarios that is genuinely necessary, and stop there.
Establish access control and identity verification appropriate to complex incident training scenarios.
Verify that improvements to training scenarios have held six months after they were introduced.
Select indicators that show whether complex incident training scenarios is improving, and reject those that only look useful.
Review training scenarios after each incident, exercise and change of threat.
Design surveillance coverage for complex incident training scenarios that supports investigation.
Who Should Attend

Human resources staff handling vetting and insider risk in training scenarios.
Security managers and officers responsible for complex incident training scenarios.
Executives responsible for approving investment in training scenarios.
Contract managers overseeing outsourced security in complex incident training scenarios.
Risk managers assessing the exposure created by training scenarios.
Course Modules
Complex incident training scenarios: incident response and escalation
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Assessing the threat to complex incident training scenarios specifically, not generically
- Exercise the plan for complex incident training scenarios under realistic conditions and record failures.
- Test the procedure for training scenarios against a realistic scenario.
- Build the internal briefing that explains complex incident training scenarios to those affected.
- Check guard force instructions for training scenarios are current and understood.
Session 2Handling evidence from training scenarios so it survives scrutiny
- Record what was learned when complex incident training scenarios did not go as planned.
- Confirm recorded material from training scenarios is retained long enough to be useful.
- Review surveillance coverage for complex incident training scenarios against likely approach routes.
- Verify identity checks applied at entry points relevant to training scenarios.
Training scenarios: continuity, exercises and external coordination
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Surveillance on training scenarios that supports an investigation later
- Protect sensitive information relating to complex incident training scenarios from casual disclosure.
- Close out actions on training scenarios rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Check that complex incident training scenarios still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
- Review training scenarios after every incident, exercise or change in threat.
Session 2Making training scenarios work when resources are constrained
- Record the rationale for each significant choice made about complex incident training scenarios.
- Report on training scenarios in terms that support an investment decision.
- Confirm access control on complex incident training scenarios cannot be routinely bypassed.
- Establish the boundary of training scenarios and record what sits outside it.
Training scenarios: surveillance, monitoring and control rooms
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Making the investment case for training scenarios
- Build the threat picture for complex incident training scenarios from sources relevant to this site and sector.
- Assess contractor and third-party exposure within training scenarios.
- Set escalation thresholds for complex incident training scenarios that work out of hours.
- Benchmark the organisation's training scenarios against comparable operations.
Session 2Escalation and decision rights in complex incident training scenarios
- Set out how exceptions to complex incident training scenarios are requested and approved.
- Name a single owner for each element of training scenarios.
- Supervise and spot-check performance on complex incident training scenarios rather than relying on reports.
- Anticipate the objections training scenarios will raise and prepare the answers.
Training scenarios: governance, assurance and investment case
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Who answers for training scenarios, and to whom
- Set escalation criteria and out-of-hours contacts for complex incident training scenarios.
- Confirm vetting standards applied to staff and contractors in training scenarios.
- Distinguish symptoms from causes when complex incident training scenarios underperforms.
- Draft the minimum viable security procedure for training scenarios.
Session 2Finding the vulnerability in training scenarios an adversary would use
- Plan the sequence in which improvements to complex incident training scenarios will be introduced.
- Coordinate arrangements for training scenarios with civil defence and police in advance.
- Verify six months later that changes to complex incident training scenarios have held.
- Identify vulnerabilities in training scenarios and rank them by consequence, not ease of fix.
